On a shaded blue background, there is a big mobile screen on the left which shows social media icons and chains breaking around it. The bottom right corner has a spiderweb and words are going through the screen in a squiggly wave, such as "harmful stereotypes" :disinformation" and "triggering content". The image has "16 Days of Activism" at the bottom & #DefeatDeceit at the top. On the right, we see a row of people using their digital devices to send & receive information. Yellow leaves on the bottom right.

Women human rights defenders (WHRDs) — women and girls working on any human rights issue, or people of any gender(s) working to promote gender equality (which might also include civil society actors who work in non-traditional fields such as journalists, health workers and private actors) — are an integral part of communities around the world.
